In addition to the character-by-character baseline shift, it would be interesting to see a similar level of control over rotate and shear of each individual character(s) selected. This would be interesting in that the text would still remain editable as an entire string, rather than have to break it into separate lines and line groups for each character or group of characters. I'm not entirely sure under what circumstances I couldn't live without this feature (or even ever use it at all) but it occurs to me that given the scriptable nature of AlterCast, and the direction some of us are heading toward designed-template driven design, whereby data and presentation are kept separate as far down the path as possible, it might be of use to allow logotype treatments to be defined, without ever having knowledge of the exact spelling of the logotype type content. I suppose it might be useful if, for example, a major company needed to retain public identity but subtly change its name due to major accounting misdeeds being disclosed, or something of this nature. This would enable rapid generation of such logotypes for new and entirely differnet companies such as Unron, WorldCon and Xorex, without any human intervention. -- Ian Tindale London
